From the family room to the courtroom, we bring you peace of mind.

Beginnings

Originally launching their legal careers in the area of family law, Michelle, Matt and Neil have since practiced exclusively in that field at various Sacramento area law firms. In 2015, Neil and Matt co-founded Forester Purcell Inc. Nearly a year later, Michelle joined the team to create FORESTER PURCELL STOWELL PC — focused on specialized counsel for complex family law issues.

Board-Certified

Neil, Matt and Michelle are Certified Family Law Specialists, a designation earned from the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Board Certified lawyers are the only attorneys allowed to publicly represent themselves as specialists or experts in a select area of the law. This designation is reserved for attorneys with the highest public commitment to excellence in their area of practice.

Once you sign a retainer agreement with our firm, your problems become our problems. We lose sleep worrying about your legal problems while you might just get some rest for the first time in months.

Before we agree to representation, we make sure our clients understand all costs and risks involved in a proposed course of action.

Family law issues are complicated, let alone emotional and stressful. We bring direction, clarity, and sense to domestic disputes. Every day, we advocate for moms, dads, husbands, wives, and most importantly, children. We get results inside and outside of the courtroom, and work to secure fair treatment for our clients.
